Michigan Memorial's 'Art in Park' features patriotic scenes

Thursday

Students from various schools in Huron Township were invited to participate.

HURON TOWNSHIP — For the third year in a row, students from various Huron Township schools will participate in Michigan Memorial Park’s “Art in the Park” project to honor the nation’s veterans.

From Friday until June 4, patriotic-themed artwork created by elementary, middle and high school students can be seen at the entrance to the sprawling cemetery located at 32163 W. Huron River Dr. at Willow Rd. across the street from Huron High School.

Each piece of artwork will be labeled with the artist’s name and grade. More than 1,000 pieces are expected to be available for viewing, said Kelly Dwyer, president of Michigan Memorial Park.

“We hope that visitors to Michigan Memorial Park during Memorial Day weekend and beyond will take a few minutes to view the work of budding artists,” Dwyer said in a press release. “It’s a very meaningful recognition and we are proud to partner with our schools in this endeavor. We also hope that people will visit our Family Service office at the entrance to the park to learn more ...”

Set on the banks of the Huron River, the family owned and operated park has served families in Southeast Michigan since 1926. Further information is available at 734-782-2473 or visit www.MiMemorial.com.
